Merman

In folklore, mermen, the counterparts of the mythical female mermaids, are legendary creatures, which are male human from the waist up and fish-like from the waist down, but may assume normal human shape. Sometimes they are described as hideous and other times as handsome. In reality they resemble men with scales and large gills and fins. They have long webbed fingers and toes and exist for little more reason than to breed more mermaids. They have a matriarchal society and mermen defer to mermaids in all things. The mermaids will bring the males food and protect them from danger. From every clutch of mermaid eggs less than one percent will be male making them a commodity worth pampering.
